The answer, of course, is both incompetence and ideology. Muddle-headed ideologues of the left, such as our president, want America to be brought down to size. They truly believe that violent jihadi hate-groups can be tamed by appeasement, because the evil parties are Israeland America.

So Obama helps depose Mubarak and Gaddafi, knowing they will be replaced by Islamic supremacists. He tells Israel they are on their own, we didn’t really mean it about being allies. He blocks attempts to prevent a nuclear Iran, even by economic sanctions, because he doesn’t like American shows of force and thinks we can live with a nuclear Iran. We lived with a nuclear Soviet Union, didn’t we?

Are we against Arabs, that we think they shouldn’t have nuclear weapons, too? It sounds like a joke, but it isn’t.
